^^^grant: movie and TV actors have a long history of not crossing over in major ways. That hasn't been true in every case, but it holds up most of the time. I don't see Cranston pulling a Jennifer Anniston. I don't have context enough to make statements that are specific of the show, but IMO the scenes I've seen are enough to form an opinion on the actors ability to be intimidating In the context of going up against cavill as lex Luthor.

The only thing he'd need to do to 'pull an Anniston' is play himself in a series of really bad films.

And I disagree, Cranston could totally be intimidating going up against Cavil (or anyone) if given both a decent script and fitting direction. The latter of which he wouldn't get under Snyder anymore than Merchant & Ivory could have made Die Hard.

Re: General Movie News

Fair enough, I see your point.

Re: Dawn of the Apes...I'm looking forward but I don't expect it to be as good as Rise. I wish Rupert Wyatt had stayed on. We'll see.

Should there be a spoiler warning with that cover? I haven't read the book, just being cautious.

Re: General Movie News

Hmm, I imagine this must have been approved by Fincher himself so I think you're fine. Having read the book, I find the picture a little funny, and I'm speculating that it will be for something in the film that will neither confirm nor denied anything, honestly. It's a hard book to adapt too, so Fincher might even change a few things.

Re: General Movie News

Okay, cool. No worries then. I was just slightly concerned because so far I only know the bare minimum of details, and the cover seemed to point to something more definitive.

Very striking image, by the way. Definitely one of my more anticipated films this year.

Re: General Movie News

And it seems the EW article says that the third act of Gone Girl will be very different from the book, done by Gillian Flynn herself.

On one hand, disappointing. The ending of the book is the hardest thing to translate on screen, but would be kind of awesome if Fincher manages it. On the other hand, now I can be as surprised by stuff as the ones who haven't read it (like how Game of Thrones smuggled in a surprise last year), and it's written by the book's writer herself.

Yeah, you know, Facebook usually lets you select from multiple thumbnails, but it doesn't in the case of this article.

Strange how they default picked the best one!
